Prince, a leader in racquet sports, joins first worldwide 3D platform entirely dedicated to sport

Empire of Sports, the first massively connected multisport 3D game, today takes a new step in becoming the first worldwide event platform dedicated to sports, by partnering with Prince, a global leader in performance racquet sports equipment.

More than just a game, Empire of Sports is a sports platform designed to echo the major real life sports events around the world, and provide all sports fans with an extended space to share and live their passion. Thanks to the valuable input from the ever growing community, Empire of Sports just keeps getting better – especially with the constant addition of new sports, clubs, sportsmen, competitions, events, and sports brands.

Prince’s partnership with Empire of Sports further enhances the games’ credentials. Prince racquets are played at all levels and the racquet choice of such superstars as Maria Sharapova, Gael Monfils, Mike and Bob Bryan and Jelena Jankovic. Likewise, players can choose to use a virtual Prince racquet in order to boost the in-game performance of their avatar.

Empire of Sports is taking this opportunity to launch the permanent events program for players of Empire of Sports to put their skills to the test with both virtual and real prizes up for grabs. Entry to all online tournaments and events can be made at any time – except during the finals which are held on Saturdays.

Depending on the type of event, Saturday’s winners will be rewarded with virtual items to boost their avatar’s performances, or real life prizes. Each week the winner of the Prince Tennis Tournament will receive a real Prince “O3 Speedport Blue” tennis racquet! This racquet will give the players additional playing benefits such as more speed and power in order to improve their tennis game in the real world.

Alexis Galley, Empire of Sports’ CEO, declares: “We’re very proud to be partnering with Prince. Their tradition in designing innovative racquet technologies perfectly fits our gameplay. It’s a precious addition to the life of our sporting world.”

Susi Capell, Marketing Manager Prince Sports EMEA, declares: “We’re very excited to be part of such an ambitious project as Empire of Sports. The game provides a unique experience for sports fans and helps us to communicate to various target groups – the gaming- and tennis community who will be equally attracted to this outstanding online gaming experience.”

Empire of Sports is currently in the Prologue phase: this phase allows Empire of Sports to expand progressively, with the help and feedback of a vast community.
